Ain't Too Proudis an electrifying new musical about the life and times of The Temptations, the greatest R&B group of all time (Billboard Magazine). Five young guys on the streets of Detroit were discovered by Berry Gordy, who signed them to his legendary new label. With their signature dance moves and unmistakable harmonies, they rose to the top of the charts—creating an amazing 42 Top Ten Hits with 14 reaching number one. Through friendship and betrayal amid the civil unrest that tore America apart, their moving and personal story still resonates five decades later.

The dramatic story of the Flint water crisis is one of the signature environmental disasters of our time—and at the heart of this tragedy is an inspiring tale of scientific resistance by a relentless physician and whistleblower who stood up to power. What the Eyes Don’t See is the personal story of how Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha—accompanied by an idiosyncratic team of researchers, parents, friends, and community leaders—proved that Flint’s kids were exposed to lead despite the state’s assurance that the water was safe. Paced like a scientific thriller, Dr. Mona’s new book shows how misguided austerity policies, the withdrawal of democratic government, and callous bureaucratic indifference placed an entire city at risk. Named one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2016, Dr. Mona will visit ALOUD to share her journey as an Iraqi-American immigrant, doctor, scientist, and mother whose family’s activist roots sparked her pursuit of justice—a fight for the children of Flint that she continues today.

Another wonderful BTC Night at the Bowl!... Hollywood Bowl that is, with a performance by the iconic, legendary Diana Ross who did not disappoint! Still gorgeous in multiple glamorous costume changes she sang all the favorites and had the audience standing, dancing and singing at their seats. We had 60 people and filled 3 full rows! About 30 people were able to join us for the pre-concert picnic where each tablecloth was in their own school colors! The evening was topped off with fabulous fireworks.

Thank you to all who participated. This is an event you won’t want to miss next year! Hope to see you there!

The Rose Bowl has raised 85% to goal and you can help them get to the finish line.
